Do you have a passion for making education accessible and inspiring for every child? Are you ready to create meaningful change for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Emotionally-based School Avoidance (EBSA)? Melksham House School is a brand new school (opened September 2025), looking for compassionate and dynamic teachers to join our dedicated team.

About the Role:

As a Teacher at Melksham House School, you’ll play a pivotal role in nurturing the academic, social, and emotional development of children with SEND.
